the radio: "The UK produces the best Snowdrops. They are hardy,
pleasing to the eye, have character, need handling with care and are
hand-picked. They are in a class of their own and have associations,
clubs and festivals nationwide.' So there we have it - it's official! |

Hi Everybody, it's been decided to publish an 8 page extra in the May 2018 issue to celebrate the Centenary of the RAF Police. As you know we did produce a publication to celebrate 90 years so quite a lot of material was used to produce that booklet. One idea that's been suggested is to concentrate on conflict areas the RAFP have been involved in, WW2 Berlin Airlift, Korea, Cyprus, Egypt. Aden, Falklands, N Ireland, Malaya etc, using unpublished photographs and individuals accounts/memories. I'm asking the membership if they can help, do you have photographs suitable for publication along with a short account of any incidents. If so please send to me (The Editor), your contribution can help make this celebratory publication a first class unique document. regards, Mitch I'm making a request for photographs for considered inclusion in the May 2018 Centenary Supplement. Obviously I already have a selection but would like more choice in the 2005 -to date timeline, although all dates are always welcome.‘ If you can send electronically that's great, if you need to send by mail, after scanning they will be returned to you. Whatever you send is not guaranteed to be published, I'm looking for the largest collection so the most interesting and informative photos are published to give a pictorial '100 years' of RAF Police service, regards, Mitch |
The secrets of Fylingdales in the heat of the cold war
These pictures are from a rare Press visit inside Fylingdales warning station on the North York Moors in 1964.
It was only in 1963 that it was named one of three radar sites in the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System.

The beauty of the
Suns Energy Solar Panel
Funding better than free solar panel scheme is that you can obtain
solar panels
and then use the government incentive known as the Feed-In-Tariff to
fund the
installation. With this
incentive, it is possible to
achieve combined earnings & savings in excess of £30,000 over
20 years. Applying now will
enable you to lock in
your Feed-In-Tariff rate which will increase over time with the rate of
inflation. The government funding available for renewable energies such
as
solar is limited and will soon run out. TO SECURE YOUR FEED-IN-TARIFF AND EARN TAX FREE INCOME AS WELL AS GENERATING FREE ELECTRICITY - Contact the Webmaster on webmaster@rafpa.com who will pass on your details to arrange a free no obligation survey by your local energy assessor |
